Good food and good service. The items I purchased were tasty. I like refillable soda drinks as well. Not many in London.

First night in London we ate here and we were NOT disappointed. The food was fresh, fast and delicious. We were told it was a chain restaurant here in London, and if it is, I bet this one is the best in the system. Everything was tasty and hot. Tired of burgers, try here. read more

On holiday in the UK we were trying to take in local joints and restaurants, however, this visit to a chain restaurant was intentional and with good reason...it was delicious! Super casual environment and I love that the kitchen is open and you can see the large grill where they cook up their delicious chicken! I ordered the flame grilled butterfly chicken breast (medium spice) with two sides. A delicious piece of chicken flame grilled WITH the crispy skin cooked to perfection :) As a carb lover, I chose the garlic bread and french fries for my side. French fries were pretty standard and the garlic bread provided was two slices of garlic and herb grilled bread served hot and toasty. They also have bottled sauces that you can add to your meal. I believe we tried the garlic and their standard peri-peri. The garlic was pretty hot! Aside from the chicken, one of the things I liked about this restaurant was the unlimited refills on the beverages AND the self-serve ice machine :) I had heard about the lack of ice usage in the UK and I hadn't thought I would miss it, but I did. The people here were friendly, food came out quickly and hot! Great little casual restaurant for a quick hot meal! read more

Set back £8 -- typical for London, but I could've gone somewhere better. Place reminds me of Boston Market -- you order at the counter and get your food delivered to you. Lots of grilled chicken options - salads, wraps, burgers, pittas: I got the grilled chicken breast burger w/1 side (ratatouille). Lemon breast marinade was a bit too saucy for a sandwich... made the bread soggy. Blech. Maybe I'll go for the 1/4 chicken next time or do take out. Wasn't fantastic, but do-able. read more

Came back here a second time, and I would definitely go back again. Don't get the chicken burger, wrap, or pitta. The chicken breast fillet that they put into it is dry and unsaucy. Opt for the 1/4 or 1/2 chicken instead! Mango & Lime seasoning is a must-try! If you do like it spicy, just add the sauces on the table. My favorite is the Spicy Garlic Peri Peri sauce. Don't forget to ask for one of the reward cards! For every three visits with a minimum purchase, you get a free menu item! It's such a good deal. Also: unlimited froyo. Mmmmm :D I'm back in the States now, but I really do miss Nando's. read more

After a long layover and a night of visiting the local bar, I stopped in for a local bite. Very tasty but the portion was small for me. Other than that staff was very polite and helpful. Clean and friendly environment. Definitely go there again. read more

Nice spot. Service was exceptional and food was delicious. I will be going back there soon.

As they say, everything is relative to your own personal experiences. I guess the glowing reviews on here are from people who have not had great rotisserie chicken because coming from Miami where we have Latin and Caribbean influences on rotisserie chicken this place really falls short. Portion sizes are so small, ordered a quarter chicken and it was maybe 4 bites, chicken breast must have come from a baby chicken as it was about 5 bites. They have a million sauces to choose from because they don't know how to season and marinate the chicken correctly so they want you to throw a ton of sauce on it to mask the fact the the chicken is flavorless and rubbery. Ordered corn on the cob and mashed potatoes and those were bad too. Corn on the cob was terrible quality corn and instead of being sweet and juicy it was dry and mushy. Mashed potatoes were just that mashed with no butter or sour cream so again flavorless. Do not listen to glowing reviews, bland chicken and tiny portions make this place a no go. read more

Absolutely legit fast service chicken and side dishes! I got the butterfly chicken with the mango lime sauce and spicy rice and sweet potato mashed and it was absolutely delicious. You can't go wrong at this place! My wife had this flat iron steak sandwich and the steak was good enough to eat by itself read more

What a neat little place. They keep it simple, fun, and don't compromise on flavor. Being 4K miles from home, finding comfort food can be quite a challenge. I'm one super lucky lady... I can see Nando's from my living room window. Anytime I need a piece of home, I am only a few feet away from happiness. They offer a little something for those of us who aren't able to partake in the chicken feasting. In the UK, I've found it a bit challenging to find a selection of good vegetarian meals. Nando's has nailed it!! The beanie burger was down right tasty! The peri-peri drizzle over houmous... Oh goodness, it's heavenly! The Fino coleslaw is a must try. Don't knock it till you've rocked it. For the meat-a-tarians of the bunch, everyone around me was snarfing up their food so fast, it had to have been scrumptious. It certainly looked it. I am looking forward to many many many more visits to Nando's. Hopefully they'll have Sangria next time. Can't wait to try some!! read more

Everything was yummy hot and served quickly. Chicken wings were a super tender and tasty. Got the median seasoning and sauce and it was perfect, just enough heat. Garlic bread nothing special mashed potatoes tasty. Service was outstanding, everyone was very friendly. read more

My 1/4 chicken was great but the chicken sandwiches everyone else ordered were way too dry. The kids meal was a great deal but I would recommend sticking to the wings instead of the burger. The service was great and very friendly. The only confusion was when we first arrived, we didn't realize that we had to order first and then it was brought to the table. I would give this place a chance again. read more

While studying abroad in London, I lived a block from this Nando's and literally came here 3 times a week! The food is simply AMAZING! Pretty much anything you order will be delicious. My all time favorites are the garlic bread and the chicken burger dipped in my go-to spicy garlic peri peri sauce. I'm drooling just thinking about this! Can there be Nando's everywhere in the US too, please? read more

Nando's - chicken burger and garlic bread. YUM! - Chicken Shop Near Me - London, XGL

Want chicken wings? Come here. I have to admit that I first learned about Nandos from my little sister who was a One Direction fan (Niall loves Nandos apparently). You seat yourself and you order at the cash register. They'll bring the food to you. You also get your own plates and silverware yourself. They have assorted hot sauces and dressings to share and you can bring whichever you like to your own table. The chicken wings here are so juicy and tender, which is why I give them 5 stars. I got the 10 wing entree with HOT Peli-Peli sauce. HOT was pretty spicy for me, they don't underestimate their spicy. The Peli Peli chips are yummy too and a tad bit spicy as well. (Chips in the UK are like fatter French fries with more potato, not potato chips which are called crisps). They also have three options of sangria which are yummy and great for sharing. It's pretty sweet though, as sangria usually is. read more

One of the only places open late to grab a bite upon our arrival into heathrow. Delicious food, ordered the Butterfly chicken in the mango lime sauce with macho peas and sweet potato wedges hit the spot! Exactly what I needed after a long flight! read more

Great food and friendly people make Nando's a go-to spot at any of their locations. I'm particularly fond of this location as it is the closest to my flat. There is not much to say about this place that differs from other locations. They have great chicken, tasty fries and a fantastic new peri peri hummous. Great for take-away as well! read more

I agree, this place needs to be brought to the US! Look at the menu, order your food at the counter, then seat yourself! This is convinient for me since lately I've been hating sit-down restaurants because of the whole bill situation, and the fact that no one ever listens to me when I say "separate checks/separate bills please". Anyway. I had a chicken wrap. It was very good. I had a really fun time here with my study abroad mates, and a couple of Australian guys sat next to us and made the meal all the better, mainly because one of the girls in our group kept flirting with them and eventually got their number. Sigh. I would like to try the per-peri sauce someday. read more

I have heard of this place but never had a chance to try it. Saw this place in London and had to try it. The food was really good and if you ever have a chance try this place. Can't wait till they become big in the US read more

I ate here twice while in London. Quick service, and great tasting food. Yes the chicken was great, and I loved the rice too.

I end up having lunch at this place, the lady welcome us and sit us, took our orders and had a great meal! All good, fresh and warm food were served read more

8 years, 27 Nando's cards, and 5 different locations later (including South Africa and Malaysia), I would have to say this Nando's is by far my favourite. Location/Atmosphere? Great spot by the river, buzzing atmosphere and cleanly laid out. Family friendly, good for groups, business lunches, no need for booking, and you can even take out! Best during summer time. Food? After experimenting with the menu, I have found the chicken breast in pitta and chicken burgers to be the most satisfying and flavorful (remember to add cheese). Houmous with peri-drizzle & pitta serves to be a great appetizer, and the prego steak roll is surprisingly tasty as well. What makes it unique? Bottomless soda, PERI PERI SAUCE, company culture. Downside? Sometimes service can be slow and one can tell the chips have been sitting out on the counter for a while. The only other minor complaint I have would be the dryness of the lettuce and some of the other veggies in the pitta but that's why you douse it in peri-peri! Now all I need now is that Nando's black card... read more

"Naaaan doooooooossss!!!!!" When you are hungry and complaining, Nando's is the perfect word to stretch out and annoy your companions with until everyone decides to comply and go with you :) I love Nando's! I usually get one of the platters of chicken and share with a friend or two, and get the four small sides of fries, garlic bread (omgyum), rice, and mashed potatoes (i.e. army of carbs). All of the sauces are great in their own way, and I love making a mosaic of them on my plate. Service at this restaurant is pretty good as well, though during rush hours the waitresses/waiters do seem a bit rushed. Last time though, three of our chicken wings were overly cooked and completely black, and the waitress immediately took them away for us and brought us three new ones! read more

A must-go when in UK. You can't come back from London without having to try Nando's chicken. I think Nando's was one of the best restaurants I've been to while at London. I loved the peri peri chicken which I got at the highest level of spicyness. And to be honest, I'm not even a big fan of chicken. However, the chicken at Nando's was so tender and well-seasoned, and went great with their variety of sauces. I highly recommend going to Nando's at least once while at London. read more

Chicken was soo good that I wish there was one in San Diego, CA. My daughters loved their Mediterranean and Quinoa Salads respectively! Service was good, the Sagres Beer and Portuguese Rose WiNe was flavorful. Thumbs up! read more

I shared the group platter wings with my wife. They were delicious. If you looking for affordable meal that's really good this is the place to go. read more

I had never been to Nando's and am gluten-free. There was a host at the door who was just so incredibly accommodating, I was a fan before even trying the food. He guided me through picking food so very kindly, was awesome. And the food was very good. I had 1/4 medium spicy chicken that was so tasty, dipped in Peri-Peri sauce. Cole Slaw was delicious and, last, sweet potato fries that were dipped in a garlicky sauce and then in a spicy seed mix (pumpkin, millet, etc.) I had a South African canned peach tea. Was really fun to have Portugese-South African food! :) Enjoyed it very much. read more

When I was leaving for my trip to London, my friend insisted that I had to try Nando's. I think I may have had too high of expectations for it, so it came off as okay. I got a Portobello Mushroom sandwich, but they gave me the wrong order. Thankfully, they were friendly enough to bring out the right order for me. Also, I wanted to try all the different sauces but this one table hogged all of them. Overall, the experience was alright. Whenever I'm back in London, maybe I'll give it another try. read more

Out of most of the food in London... this restaurant really stuck out for me! Really delicious food and I had a fun time with my friend, his sister and his friends. The chicken was hella good! & The sides were also really good as well! read more

Cheeky Nando's definitely lives up to its reputation for good food that you just can't resist! I'll be coming back to Nando's every few weeks with the looks of things. It's not the cheapest place out there, but it's certainly unique and you won't get food like theirs many other places. Quality is great, prices are acceptable for what you usually get. Only thing I'd take a star off for is that it sometimes takes over half an hour for your food to arrive, especially when it's busy. read more

Please give me more peri peri! On a whim, and because the place was jammed, I decided to join the queue, and I'm grateful I did. Spicy and succulent, Nando's delivers flavor! Don't miss the peri peri chips either. read more

Excited to try Nando's across the street from my hotel, I expected something flavorful and unique but was instead left disappointed. I had the half chicken and was disappointed that they could not do all dark meat. Putting that aside though, the chicken was tiny and dry. Thank goodness there were several peri peri dipping sauces, which were interesting and flavorful. The peri peri fries were just normal fries with a sprinkling of seasoning and not worth extra money. The mushy peas are a London staple and an acquired taste. I liked them, but I can see why people may not be as into them. Overall I think Boston Markets, Sonoma Chicken Coop's, and Costco's chicken are all better that Nando's. One plus was the self-service soda and ice machine, both rarities in London. read more

Think grilled chicken with a nice charred and spicy crust. A bit dry, but what do you expect when you cook chicken like this? Not bad, average price-wise, I might go back to a Nando's if I was craving their spicy fare, but I wasn't particularly impressed. read more

Nando's - Chicken Shop Near Me - London, XGL

My favourite chicken place in the world! When will they bring this place to the US?? Nando's has exceptional food, for a chain restaurant. They are always consistent and crack out the most amazing and flavourful chicken ever. How do they get their stuff to taste so good? The best part about this place is the sauces... all different kinds of peri peri sauces! You can even buy a bottle (or three) to take home. I have been to most of the locations, but the South Kensington stop is my fave. Not sure why... read more

My friend and I had no idea what to expect from this place. After a long day of hitting London's tourist attractions and then fighting our way home during the Tube strike, most of the other restaurants were closed and the pubs had stopped serving food. Nando's was the only (decently affordable) place still open, so we figured we'd give it a try. We ended up really liking it. Of course, we got carded when we tried to buy beer (and we are 25-26, NOT under 18) but at least the cashier had a good sense of humor about it. My friend had some sort of chicken burger, and I had one of the veggie burgers (I believe it was the one made mostly of beans), which was delish. Some things were a bit odd (trying to figure out where to get condiments, where the napkins were, etc.), but it was quick, cheap, and good, so no real complaints here! read more

I was immediately confused by the arrangement of this place. An iteration of what could only be called a "maitre'd" greeted me in a rush and said table 7 would be available shortly. I've never been here before, I didn't know what he was talking about... doesn't matter, I just waited and watched. I ordered at the counter (though the layout of this place suggested to me there was table service, so I was confused by the motions/actions of the staff..) - I got a veggie burger, sans their special mayo. "Medium" hot sauce. And a side of chips/fries. The gentlemen who brought me my burger was congenial. The "medium" hot sauce looked like melted cheese; he informed to the contrary. Naturally, I was confused - maybe I was just hungry... The veggie burger was decent. The bread was great. The "medium" sauce was spicy and worth investigating another time. The one-leaf of lettuce was sad and paltry. The one slice of tomato was an afterthought. Overall - I was just let down. For £8.75 I anticipated a decent meal of quality. Instead I was just embarrassed for this "burger." The burger was "meh..." with a side of chips. At least the guy who brought the burger to me had sense enough to turned the music down when I told him I couldn't hear him explain to me what the "medium" sauce was... Yup - "meh." read more

It boggles my mind that Nando's could have equivalent ratings to place where actual good food is sold. That said, Nando's is good for a quick bite if you're desperate and not in the mood for anything fussy at all. This particular Nandos is 25 seconds from my house so obviously I eat here fairly regularly -- a half chicken after a workout with no sides does the protein trick quickly and cheaply (without having to clean the blender after a shake). The food is terribly inconsistent, esp the chicken burgers because sometimes cooking a chicken breast to perfection is tough and it ends up tough and dry. The leg/thigh is the best bet because it's tough to ruin (unlike the corn which is awful -- don't agree with the previous poster whatsoever -- its terrible terrible corn). What irks me is that the chips are not usually fresh and 9 times out of ten I have to order chips, specifically requesting fresh ones, and when they arrive soggy, ask for another fresh batch. This is excruciatingly frustrating when all I want are some chips, but the fresh ones are pretty good and the soggy ones terrible. A hint -- if you order chips get a side of perinaise. It is the best dipping sauce for chips at any fast food spot that I can think of off the top of my head. read more

Nando's is great! They have a nice variety of chicken. I like to think of it as a "healthier, nice" option to Buffalo Wild Wings. Flavors were great and sides were pretty good. Sangria was super tasty though not very alcoholic. However note- London is not home to Nando's! Someone told me it was and duh it's not. They have it in the states. read more

Nando's was delicious! Had 1/2 chicken with 2 sides, peri chips and side salad. Chicken was juicy and flavorful! Ordered it with medium heat and it was perfect, not too spicy. Will definitely be going back! read more

My friends and I have been having serious withdrawals ever since we left London, and one of the things that we really miss is Nando's. This place is open until as late as 11pm and their food is so addicting! It's perfect for both a full meal and a snack, as well as desserts such as tarts and bottomless yogurt. My go-to is their combo with 5 medium wings and 2 sides. Another favorite is their kid's meal, for when I'm not so hungry. Lastly, enroll in their rewards system, it has nice payoffs ^_^ read more
